Anybody have a source for Fender style bias pots in denominations other than 10K, like 25K & 50K? Sure would be good to find some.
I've bought these PEC pots locally in 10K & 25K. Presume larger sizes are available --

A while back someone pointed me Weber who have a few values of locking pot but I've never ordered --

The Fender ones are CTS so you can make any value you want by swapping the resistive element. You just have to be willing to sacrifice another pot to cannibalize it.
